Experts warn untreated grief can spiral into a public health crisis, affecting housing, work, and mental health. Organizations like Missing Pieces and Soaring Spirits International offer “grief navigators” to provide sustained support for up to 18 months, helping families navigate isolation and find healing. With research backing their model, these programs aim to normalize bereavement care in healthcare systems—so people like Amari can remember, grieve, and eventually laugh again.
